Architect Chris Wilkinson dies aged 76
Lizzie Crook | 16 December 2021 Leave a comment
British architect and artist Chris Wilkinson, co-founder of the RIBA Stirling Prize-winning studio WilkinsonEyre, has passed away at the age of 76.
The news of his death on 14 December was announced this morning in a short statement by WilkinsonEyre.
"It is with deep sadness that WilkinsonEyre announce the death of Chris Wilkinson on the 14 December," it read.
"Our thoughts are with his family who have requested privacy at this time."

Wilkinson founded Chris Wilkinson Architects in 1983 and headed up the practice until 1987 when his former colleague Jim Eyre became a partner.
The pair went on to establish WilkinsonEyre in 1999, before winning back-to-back RIBA Stirling Prizes in 2001 for the Magna Science Centre and in 2002 for the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
One of WilkinsonEyre's earliest projects was the Stratford Market Depot. Photo is by Dennis Gilbert
In recognition of his contribution to architecture, Wilkinson was awarded an OBE in the Millennium Honours List.
He was also the recipient of an Honorary Fellowship of the American Institute of Architecture in 2007 and held honorary doctorates from Westminster University and Oxford Brookes University.

Alongside the Magna Science Centre and Gateshead Millennium Bridge, key projects by WilkinsonEyre include the Mary Rose Museum, the Stratford Market Depot in England and the National Waterfront Museum Swansea in Wales.
Elsewhere, it completed the Guangzhou International Finance Center in China, One Barangaroo in Australia and Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, which Wilkinson discussed in a video with Dezeen during the World Architecture Festival 2012.

The studio's most recent projects include the conversion of King's Cross gasholders into luxury flats and a mirrored laboratory and sports hangar at Dyson's countryside campus completed as part of a long-term collaboration with the technology company.
Alongside practising as an architect, Wilkinson was an artist and painter. He has exhibited his work at the Royal Academy of Arts where he was elected in 2006 and served as treasurer.

Wilkinson also authored the book Supersheds in 1991 and co-wrote Bridging Art & Science, Exploring Boundaries and Tectonics.
In 2020, he was among the illustrious list of architects to judge the Dezeen Awards.

In a statement released by his family, Wilkinson was described as having "a great sense of optimism".
"Alongside his many achievements as an architect and artist, Chris was a brilliant husband and father," the statement read.
"We will remember his generosity of spirit – he was always available to help others and committed and loving to his family and friends," it continued. "He had a great sense of optimism, living in the moment, and making use of every second. He will be dearly missed."

HCM CITY (VNS)— People living in the Dong Nai River Basin are happy to hear that plans to build two hydro-power plants have been scrapped.
"The Party Committee, the People's Committee, and National Assembly deputies from Dong Nai repeatedly voiced the 'disadvantages' of these projects," the deputy chairman of the province People's Committee, Nguyen Thanh Tri, said.
"These two projects would also have made the global community lose confidence if the core zone of Nam Cat Tien National Park had been destroyed."
Locals expressed support for the Government's exclusion of hydro-power projects No 6 and 6A on the Dong Nai River from an electricity development master plan, with the decision being announced by Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai last week.
"If scientists and the media had not sounded the alarm about the negative impacts these projects would have had on the environment (for nearly seven years), over 300ha of primary forests in the Cat Tien National Park would have been destroyed," Dr Vu Ngoc Long, head of the Southern Ecology Institute, said.
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment had petitioned the Government to reconsider No 6 and 6A as well as all other hydro-power projects in the Dong Nai River Basin. It said the Government should do a comprehensive review of the two since an environmental impact assessment found that many issues still need to be clarified.
The ministry made its suggestion after sending a report to the Government Office about the proposed construction of the two power plants by Duc Long - Gia Lai Co. It said the two projects require 372.23ha of forests, including 128.37ha in Cat Loc, a core zone in the Cat Tien National Park.
In its environmental impact report, Duc Long - Gia Lai pledged to afforest the area but its report did not show the areas or contain plans for afforestation. It also failed to mention the estimated loss of bio-diversity at Cat Tien and other ecological losses in the region.
Measures proposed to minimise the biological impacts were infeasible, according to the ministry.
Its report said no measures have been spelled out to protect the fauna and flora while the impact on stream flows in the lower section would affect the ecology, water levels, and the areas of swamp in Bau Sau Ramsar.
The hydro-power projects also pose other disadvantages. Work on related support facilities such as transmission lines and roads to support them will have an adverse impact on the environment and socio-economic conditions. This will also affect Nam Cat Tien National Park. The projects could also affect the subsistence of locals who earn their livelihoods from farming, aquaculture, and fishing in the lower sections and impact Nam Cat Tien National Park's application for world heritage status.
Following Hai's announcement, last week Bui Phap, chairman of Duc Long - Gia Lai's management board said the company respects the Government's decision.
"This is a national issue. We should think about national interests rather than the company's benefits," he told the Nguoi Lao Dong (The Labourer) newspaper.
Duc Long is a diversified firm and would focus on other businesses, Phap said.

Litigation privilege under the spotlight
17 September 2015. Published by Caroline Shiffner, Senior Associate
A Claimant's application for an injunction against the use in litigation of unhelpful pre-application planning advice he had obtained from a local planning authority was dismissed by John Jarvis QC sitting as a deputy High Court Judge.
The advice was released to the Defendant, pursuant to a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Claimant's solicitors asserted that the planning advice and correspondence was privileged.
The judge held that the communications and advice was prima facie privileged because they were obtained for the dominant purpose of the litigation. However, that privilege was waived by the Claimant because the planning authority was a statutory body and subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Accordingly, it had a statutory obligation to provide information to the public. The exemption from disclosure for privileged documents under s.42 of the Act was not engaged because the Claimant's solicitors had not indicated to the planning authority that the advice was sought in the context of litigation; they purported to be making a genuine pre planning enquiry on behalf of their client. The judge found that the planning authority provided their advice on that basis.
The judge held that whilst there was nothing improper in failing to disclose the true purpose for seeking the advice, the consequence was that the advice was bound to be disclosed pursuant to the local authority's statutory obligations under the Act. In essence, the Claimant had to elect whether to disclose the true reason for seeking the advice, ensuring that the communications were privileged, but run the risk the local authority would refuse to provide the advice, or not to disclose the true purpose and take the risk that the communications would be disclosed as they would not be protected by privilege.
The judge went on to say that even if the privilege had subsisted he would have declined to grant the injunction. The Defendant had acted properly in making the FOI application and reading the documents provided. It would not therefore have been appropriate to restrain the Defendant from relying on the advice. The judge also observed that preventing the use of the advice in the form in which it already existed, would have impeded the efficient management of the litigation in the event that the planning officer had been forced to give her evidence by compulsion at trial and that it was not, in any event, in the public interest for the evidence to be withheld from the court.

Q: google places api in python is not working Hello I am trying to use the google places api to get a list of all the McDonalds in Germany (weird exercise I know). This is my code (the box is smaller than the actual box for Germany so it does not take a long time to iterate):
import urllib2, simplejson
GOOGLE_API_KEY = 'my google api'

lat_NW = 53.4017872352
lng_NW = 5.954233125
lat_SE = 51.9766032969
lng_SE = 10.032130575

lat_curr = lat_NW
lng_curr = lng_NW
total_calls = 0

lat_incr = -.29
lng_incr = .29

while lng_curr<lng_SE:
    lng_curr = lng_NW
    while lat_curr > lng_SE:
        curr_location = str(lat_curr) + "," + str(lng_curr)
        url='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=' + curr_location + '&sensor=false&key=' + GOOGLE_API_KEY + '&radius=20000&types=restaurant&name=mcdonalds'

        response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
        result = response.read()
        d = simplejson.loads(result)
        lng_curr += lng_incr
    lat_curr += lat_incr

print (d)

And this is the output I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 7, in <module>
  File "F:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.6.3\python-2.7.6.amd64\lib\urllib2.py", line 127, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "F:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.6.3\python-2.7.6.amd64\lib\urllib2.py", line 404, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "F:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.6.3\python-2.7.6.amd64\lib\urllib2.py", line 422, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "F:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.6.3\python-2.7.6.amd64\lib\urllib2.py", line 382, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "F:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.6.3\python-2.7.6.amd64\lib\urllib2.py", line 1222, in https_open
    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPSConnection, req)
  File "F:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.6.3\python-2.7.6.amd64\lib\urllib2.py", line 1184, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:507: EOF occurred in violation of protocol>

Any ideas on what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

A: My guess would be you've reached the usage limit.
If you try this, you'll see that your loop does never abort:
lat_NW = 53.4017872352
lng_NW = 5.954233125
lat_SE = 51.9766032969
lng_SE = 10.032130575

lat_curr = lat_NW
lng_curr = lng_NW
total_calls = 0

lat_incr = -.29
lng_incr = .29

while lng_curr<lng_SE:
    lng_curr = lng_NW
    while lat_curr > lng_SE:
        curr_location = str(lat_curr) + "," + str(lng_curr)
        print curr_location
        lng_curr += lng_incr
    lat_curr += lat_incr

What you probably want is something like this:
...
while lng_curr < lng_SE:
    lat_curr = lat_NW
    while lat_curr > lat_SE:
        curr_location = str(lat_curr) + "," + str(lng_curr)
        ...
        lat_curr += lat_incr
    lng_curr += lng_incr

Jung in and jo jung chi dating | From 'We Got Married' to real marriage, Jo Jung Chi and Jung In have become husband and wife!
No Does Jo In Sung have official Social Media profiles? Stigma of being divorced is negative here. While talking about music, I looked at Jung In and her eyes were glazed over as if she was seducing me. In its seething souks, Europe, Africa and the Middle East mingle and merge, and the past and present are hard to tell apart. He also appeared in the films Dangerously Excited 2012 , Horror Stories 2 2013 , and Pluto 2013. Besides, he's always been known for being close with Chun Jung Myung and Go Hyun Jung. Chungin were the lifeblood of the agrarian bureaucracy, for whom the upper classes depended on to maintain their vise-like hold on the people.
Lee Joon is planning on resting well before he heads back to the army after his break ends. She's divorced, she didn't run over an injured kitten. And were in a drama together too. The Korean chungin, as a social class, were roughly analogous to the middle-class in. The chungin functioned as the and were essentially petty bureaucrats in the rural areas especially. I thought that kind of thing only happened in my country.
About Eun-ji Jung is a 25 year old South Korean Singer. The two were very affectionate, Lee Joon was the ultimate gentleman taking care of Jung So Min on their date. The two plan to set up house in Mapo as newlyweds. Check out some of the photos released by Dispatch. It seems that worked out as it was reported on July 14 that Jung In is currently pregnant.
The chungin besides being known as a section of the middle-class, they were the smallest social class in dynastic Korea. He revealed the two of them filled out the necessary documents at the Mapo-gu Office and became husband and wife! Moreover, Jo Jung Chi revealed the behind story of how they first started dating. She is the main vocalist of the girl group Apink, and has acted in television dramas including Reply 1997 2012 , That Winter, the Wind Blows 2013 , Trot Lovers 2014 and Cheer Up! At least in cases where the other person hasn't done anything that deserves criticism e. This privileged class of commoners consisted of a small group of petty bureaucrats and other highly educated skilled workers whose technical and administrative skills enabled the and the royal family to rule the lower classes. Their roles were minor technical and administrative officials who supported the structure of the government. Born Jung Hye-rim on 18th August, 1993 in Haeundae, Busan, South Korea, she is famous for A Pink in a career that spans 2011—present.
After the initial reports came out, the couple confirmed that they were indeed dating. I feel like one period of time has come to an end. Minimum Age You must be at least 13 years of age to use this website. We would be grateful if everyone would watch over them warmly. Congratulations to Jung In and Jo Jung Chi!

Governing Law The governing law will be that of Netherlands, the country in which this site is based and from which all services are provided. Young Korean man of the middle class, 1904 In dynastic Korea, particularly during the Joseon period, the chungin were lower than the aristocracy but above the lower middle and working class commoners in social status. Singer and guitarist are going to be parents! Jung So Min became known for her romantic comedy roles while Lee Joon was recognized for his talent as an actor. Jung In came to visit the rooftop farm to help her husband, Jo Jung Chi, creating a lovey-dovey atmosphere. The highest-ranking chungin, local functionaries, administratively enabled the yangban to oppress the lower classes, especially the total control they had over the sangmin. Somehow this bursting-at-the-seams city exists on the edge of the Sahara Desert, its pink pise rammed earth palaces framed by the snow-capped High Atlas.

There was that one time when I slept by a Bigfoot monster truck. Or that time with the sign in Sedalia. Yeah, that sign. Or the time Leigh and I went up in the arch. Or the time Ryno, Hoss and I almost died at the Buttery diner. Or the time Mom and Dad took us kids to see the Tigers play the Cards in 1984! Or the time we watched Gary play Sweet Home Alabama on his Peavey guitar? Or that time when Bryan and The Moze brought me to Mizzou to tell my story! Or the time we stayed in Cape Girardeau and got bed bugs. The countless times I've been the Kansas City? All of those, too. And don't forget earlier this summer, when I hit "34" four times at that casino just north of Columbia!
I've always loved Missouri. And I was itching to make a poster for it. And that's what you are seeing here. We're calling it "Markedly Missouri" and you should snag one.

Last Thursday I left off cutting the control assembly mount brackets. This morning I got up and cranked up the band saw and finished cutting them.
Here you can see how rough the band saw cuts can be. No biggie though, that's what Scotch-Brite wheels are for.
Here are the brackets after I finished polishing them.
Next I drilled out the holes for nutplates on the top flanges of the center section and riveted on the nutplates that go there. Note the cut-outs here for the stick movement.
Here's the other top flange of the center section w/ nutplates installed.
Here are the 'cover support ribs' clecoed to the center section web. These things get nutplates on them and they get riveted and screwed to the web. I drilled these out then unibited the holes for various runs (not shown).
Here's one of the end cover support ribs. This thing actually get screwed on to the web. I'm not really sure why...but that's what the plans show. See below.
Heres's the plans. A web stiffener goes on the other side and gets a couple of nutplates riveted to it. The cover support rib attaches with screws into those nutplates.
Here's the stiffener material after I cut it down to size. These get match-drilled against the pre-punched holes in the bulkhead.
Here are the stiffeners after the match-drilling.
This is my first opportunity to use a nutplate jig. I bought these a while back but haven't had a reason to use them, since most of the nutplate anchor holes are already drilled on this kit.
...and here's another entry for my 'Blood Sweat and Tears' section. I did this while drilling out the small cover support ribs. Nothing like a #19 bit to the palm to get your day going.
The support ribs sit on top of some flush-head rivets...so I counersunk the holes in the spar web for those.
Next I started to fabricate the center section spacers...but.....the spacers where pre-fabbed. I found 'em in a bag. Nice to find stuff like this already done.
The bulkhead gets these 5/8 inch holes/snap bushings for electrical & manual elevator trim runs. I'm using electric elevator trim so this will get electrical wiring instead.
...and on the other side as well.
Then I started riveting the vertical pieces to the horizontals. I was able to squeeze all but the inboard-most row of rivets. I used this method to rivet those. If your'e not familiar with this, this is the way all the 'old school' rv builders had to rivet their spars. The spars weren't pre-assembled and they would use this method on all the thick materials. I can't imagine how long that took.
Anyway, several good whacks with the rubber mallet and the rivets were set quite easily. Gives you some perspective on how much force you're pneumatic squeezer or rivet gun are excerting on rivets.
How about an action shot? Jaime took this picture of me banging (literally) some rivets. Please ignore the filthy garage.
This method drives absolutely perfect rivets. Check these out!

'Game of Thrones' showrunners make a case against spoilers
'If there was a website called Last Pages of Great Books, would you read that?'
By James Hibberd
April 14, 2016 at 04:41 PM EDT
Helen Sloan/HBO
Deliberately reading a spoiler from a movie or TV show that you're otherwise anticipating is arguably like eating sugar-stuffed junk food — an all-too-brief dopamine-spike indulgence to satisfy a nagging itch that's often followed by a regretful crash. Reading a plot twist crudely blurted out online has to rank among the least enjoyable ways to experience story revelations, especially when compared to watching the drama play out on screen…
At least, that's how spoilers are viewed by many top Hollywood creators — such as the showrunners of Game of Thrones, who ramped up production secrecy to unprecedented levels for upcoming season 6.
"Any sane person would admit that knowing this stuff in advance lessens the experience of watching it, and yet people are really hungry to find out things that that will make something they presumably like worse for them," showrunner Dan Weiss tells EW. "So I don't totally get it."
To pull off the new season of the Emmy-winning drama, the first that's set almost entirely set beyond the scope of George R.R. Martin's novels, the producers implemented a score of heightened security measures. No more paper scripts (all electronic). The "circle of trust" was tightened among the cast and network executives with regard to story detail. Code names were used for certain characters and scenes. HBO's international partners will get their copies of episodes much closer to each hour's U.S. debut. And on the set itself, security was increased in an attempt to prevent fans from taking photos of the production.
"It's like protecting your house," reasons showrunner David Benioff. "You make it as hard as possible for burglars in hopes they look for some other house to burgle, but it's impossible to ever completely secure your house."
Quips Weiss: "Go burgle The Walking Dead."
Thrones' house was indeed pilfered a couple times last year despite the team's efforts. "One guy hiked 18 hours on foot in the middle of Spain's La Mancha desert to take pictures," Weiss marvels. "Another guy in Northern Ireland crawled through the mud and did his own little private commando mission."
On the Hollywood spoiler tolerance spectrum, Benioff and Weiss rank up there with The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams in their desire to keep their mystery box tightly sealed. And while their dispositions are typically unflappable — they never seem to get outright angry or stressed out despite the enormous pressures of their show — a few leaked images managed to rile. "I just want to point out that guy's an a–hole," Benioff says of one of the paparazzi infiltrators. "You're not cool for doing that, you're an a–hole."
A degree of their frustration likely stems from how famously difficult Thrones is to produce. When you're working year-round managing hundreds of cast and crew members to make every frame of an epic fantasy series as perfect as possible, your goal every day is to maximize the viewer's eventual experience. As many Emmys as Thrones now has on its collective cast and crew mantel, the show has never been about pleasing the elite (critics are not even receiving screeners this year), but about crafting the best possible show for the show's legions of fans. So when viewers find out about The Red Wedding or Jon Snow's death from an online board rather than Martin's novels or the show itself, there's something inherently disappointing about that — for both the producers and presumably for viewers.
That said, some firmly and convincingly insist spoilers do not lessen their enjoyment of content (EW writer and screenwriter Jeff Jensen, for example, loves to know story twists ahead of time, arguing, "A story's construction is as riveting as the story itself, and spoilers help illuminate that artistry"). Yet the showrunners have a tough time wrapping their minds around such a dessert-first approach to pop culture consumption.
"It's crazy enough to be the person crawling through the bushes in Northern Ireland with a telescopic lens taking pictures — there are crazy people out there," Benioff says. "But the idea that people want to go to sites and find out those spoilers … it's like if there was a website called Last Pages of Great Books, would you read that?"
"I'm going to start that website!" Weiss says. "By the logic of the Internet that would be popular — 'Don't read Anna Karenina, here's the page where she jumps in front of the train.'"
Weiss pauses. "Spoiler alert."

Of History, Coco and the Little Black Dress
Written by Sharwari Pandit // July 17, 2015 // Media & Popular Culture, Philosophy, Religion, Culture // Comments Off
The iconic poster of Audrey Hepburn, clad in a snug Little Black Dress, holding a cigarette lighter and coolly gazing out of the frame from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, is probably one of the most picturesque images produced by Hollywood. But apart from pushing its protagonist to dizzying new heights of popularity, this poster was also a landmark one because it introduced Coco Chanel's Little Black Dress to the masses. And it's been an eternal legacy ever since.
The inspiration to write this post has arisen in response to a 'dare' given to freshly enrolled first year female students at my university during one of their early courses, urging them to resist the 'temptation' of wearing the Little Black Dress by the end of their first year, among other sinful temptations. In the spirit of the thought provoking and eye opening discussions I fondly remember from my own first year, I would like to present a differing opinion; one endorsing the merits of falling for that temptation, and donning that Little Black Dress with pride.
I shan't dwell much upon the fact that female students, or for that matter women anywhere, should be able to wear whatever they want, be 'tempted' by whatever dresses they want, and should not be harassed or judged for the same. It's a simple point that's been made often enough, and I daresay will continue to be made, as it should.
I shall, however, dwell most seriously on the positive need for us to embrace the little black dress, not purely for its appeal to the eye, but for all that it represents. The Little Black Dress or the 'LBD', as it is fondly called today, was an expression of more than just the designing genius of one Coco Chanel.
For beginners, it was black. Today this constitutes a bland observation. But back in the early 1900s and well into the 1940s, black was strictly relegated to widows and servants. For up to four years after her husband's demise, a widow was strictly confined to all-concealing, unalluring black garbs. And because it was positively scandalous to be seen in black unless you were a lowly servant, widows were further confined to their rooms or houses and isolated from any public life or company. As legend goes, when Coco Chanel lost her paramour in a tragic car accident, she felt 'black' in grief. But she was not a widow, and she definitely didn't intend to stay confined anywhere for four years – her business was booming, and she had already begun her own revolution for women's liberation through her designs (which included introducing pants for women and doing away with oppressive corsets during the First World War). And so, she decided it was time the world around her embraced the colour black.
Coco wasn't an aristocrat or even a genteel. She was a seamstress who had rubbed shoulders with the black-clad servants since she was born. And she had smashed the glass ceiling to dress the crème de la crème of Parisian society, who vied for her appointment despite her humble origins. So when she brought out her Little Black Dress, made immensely popular when it was endorsed by Audrey Hepburn, it added a very decisive nail in the coffin of ostracising the colour black, and those who had been ostracised with it.
Secondly, the little black dress was, well, little. This naturally raised quite a furore in a society where the flash of an ankle was generally the subject of the week's gossip or the plot of heartrending romantic literature. But over the decades, it became a staple in most women's wardrobes, worn at parties, to formal events or even to work. Today we bemoan the attitude of those who claim that the length of our skirts determine our character, who believe that our appearance if 'tempting' enough erases the requirement of consent and that ultimately, women and the treatment they deserve is based on what they decide to wear.
But the Little Black Dress, with its history and its function, stands tall against such attitudes. It was created by a woman who changed the rules of clothing for women, who freed them from social and historic confines and a woman who broke down barriers of classes with her creations. The Little Black Dress is worn by women all over the world today, who stride into workplaces, enjoy themselves at parties and don't believe that the length of their skirt determines anything about their personality or sexual availability.
So I say that we all fall for the 'temptation' of an LBD, if we find it alluring enough. Coco Chanel's creation is obviously more than just another fashion output to enhance physical allure. It is the result of her personal rebellion in sync with a historic purpose, revolutionary in its function and empowering in its effect. And I urge those first years to lose that 'dare' and be tempted by the LBD. Rest assured, the truth of your substance is definitely not resident in the length, colour and design of the dress you wear. So the next time you wear a fabulous Little Black Dress, or any dress for that matter, and are made to feel badly about it, just glare back and stride on. Because that's what Coco would have done.

#BeforeTheFame | Big Flock Talks About His Single "Ceaser Salad," Diddy Gang, & More
ByDriuneSantana
Big Flock is the heart, mind, body, and soul of Maryland and especially when you think about rap music. Born in Camp Springs, MD, Big Flock started rapping at the age of by using a tape recorder to record his first few rap songs. Late 2016 he dropped "The Great Depression" featuring 21 Savage and Hoodrich Pablo Juan. It was such a success that the project was praised by Source, Karen Civil, The Fader, and varies of publications in the industry. Recently, Flock released his new single "Caesar Salad" and shared with the process behind creating the song alongside the culture in the DMV.
Q: Tell us about your new single "Caesar Salad"?
A: When I got the beat that was the name title of the beat. So when I recorded it they just left it like that. So when they send the files to me, the title of beat with "Caesar Salad." They were telling me to change it to "Old Flock" and I'm like no. Its raw! I'm giving raw, so I'm leaving it like that. I don't even eat salad!
Q: How would you describe the culture of the Washington Metropolitan region (DMV)?
A: I can't really explain it. In my area, we just grew up in the trenches.
Q: Describe Diddy Gang and how has it impacted not only your music, but your life?
A: My life, it was my best friend, my brother. When he passed away it was just Diddy Gang before music had anything to do with it. Musically, it's not only my brother's name and legacy, now it's a brand and a business. It all works out for each other. At the same time, by me praising my brother's name, I'm putting positivity behind it.
Q: The Great Depression was an underground classic in many industry critics' eyes, what's your favorite song from it? How did the feature with 21 Savage happen?
A: It would have the be the one with 21 Savage. I had a show at the same place as him. I was supposed to go on before him and someone had got into with the promoters. After the whole situation happen, Savage told me to send him the song. Matter a fact, we went to the studio the same night and recorded the song.

Prospectively registered
Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed and is damaged. It causes intense abdominal pain and may lead to multiple organ failure. Those suffering from the disease may need help with breathing, heart and kidney function. One in twenty patients with acute pancreatitis dies, which is more likely to happen to those who develop organ failure. Treatment can be prolonged, often with extended stays in hospital of many weeks. To date many drugs have been tested to treat acute pancreatitis, but none cure the illness or accelerate recovery. This study tests a drug called infliximab, which is made from natural protein and is currently used to treat bowel and joint disease. Infliximab works by blocking an important process in the progression of the disease. This process leads to inflammation in both the pancreas and other parts of the body. The study also looks to see if there are any links between genes and the development of acute pancreatitis, and to see if there are any links between the genes and the way infliximab works. This may help target the right treatment to the right patients and help gain understanding of how infliximab works. If infliximab is beneficial in the treatment of acute pancreatitis, major improvements will be possible in the health of a large number of NHS patients, patient suffering and hospital waiting times will be reduced, and significant savings will be made to NHS costs.
Adult patients attending A&E with acute pancreatitis
Participants are randomly allocated to receive a single, 2-hour infusion of either 5 mg/kg infliximab, 10 mg/kg infliximab, or placebo (dummy drug). Infliximab is given within half a day of a patient arriving in hospital, much earlier than with other drugs tested in acute pancreatitis. Whilst the patient is in hospital, information is recorded and blood samples are taken. Patients are followed up until Day 90 (Day 1 beginning from when the patient receives the trial infusion).
Acute pancreatitis is a common and serious disease that needs emergency admission to hospital, but there are no medicines to cure the illness or speed up recovery. By taking part in this study, participants may find their symptoms of acute pancreatitis get better. Infliximab helps in bowel and joint disease and early research shows that infliximab may help patients with acute pancreatitis. The results of this study may help others with acute pancreatitis and will be valuable in developing new medicines to treat acute pancreatitis. Millions of patients in the world have been treated with infliximab for various diseases. Infliximab is a safe medicine and usually very well tolerated. Side effects from infliximab are uncommon. Most side effects occur with repeated doses of infliximab, unlike in this study which tests a single dose of infliximab. The two side effects that could occur with a single dose of infliximab, although unlikely, are allergic reactions (also known as infusion reactions) and infections. This study also requires exposures to ionising radiation. Depending on their clinical indications, participants will receive a chest x-ray at screening and a dual phase CT scan for the diagnosis and/or monitoring of pancreatitis. Depending upon the clinical indications, the number of CT scans as standard of care can vary but is likely to be less than three, although more may be performed if indicated. Participants will only receive one additional examination although it is noted that this examination may be performed as part of the standard of care.

In June 2016, a study at the Swedish Molecular Infectious Diseases Laboratory (MIMS) at the University of Umeå in Sweden found a link between nicotine and inflammatory processes.
Nicotine – the researchers said – the very massive activation of some immune cells, called neutrophilic granular. These are the most abundant white blood cells. Circulate in the blood, constantly searching for bacteria or other alien hackers that need to be eliminated.
Its ammunition consists of the so-called Extracellular Traps Testo Drive 365 of Neutrophils, which diverge when the enemy appears in large quantities and can render them harmless.
But since not only is it smoked or steam-milled once a month, but it is usually done daily, the NETs are not only distributed once or only for a short period of time, but permanently.
Even if the NETs are originally designed to protect the body, excessive amounts of NET can also damage the body. The continuous loading and continuous output of the organism with the products now Testo Drive 365 Male Enhancement leads to tissue damage as a result of chronic inflammation and illustrates the serious consequences of nicotine consumption for human health.
Nicotine: a participant in acute lung disease.
Now it is clear that nicotine contributes significantly to this problem: not only smoking in a dangerous way, but also fumigation with nicotine-containing liquids.

CONVERSATION WITH THE MAKERS (CWTM)Did you always envision a life as an artist?
JILL BERRY (JB) Some sort of art, yes. My college degree is in interior design as a practical move. My heart was always in fine arts.
JB Painting my baby brother blue when I was three.
JB Yes, in the basement of my home.
JB Coffee, kids off to school, carpool, walk the dog. Down to the studio to take care of emails and all things electronic, then make tea and start the art.
JB I wish I always felt this way! Sometimes deadlines are looming and the product is the focus. The days were I just toss stuff around in the studio to see what happens are my favorite days.
JB Absolutely. The journey of creating a new piece is so thrilling just because of that mystery.
JB Way to many to count. I love my paints, dyes, all kinds of surfaces, threads, papers.
JB About half and half I guess. They end up veering off course if I plan them too much, so I don't do much planning unless it is a commission.
JB When I have to ask myself if it is time to stop, the answer is "yes". There seems to always be a moment that announces itself when a piece is done, it seems clear. Of course, I do not always listen…..
JB I am inspired by this quote from Salvador Dali, because I think we would all like to feel like this, at least once!
JB Early in the morning or the middle of the night.
JB It makes me feel like a magician. The act of creating is a gift I have chosen to honor, and it means the world to me to be able to express myself visually especially when it may be difficult to do so verbally.
JB When I feel finished and happy with what I am doing.
JB Sometimes a story, or another artist. Sometimes a poem, or wise words. Being in a group of creatives.
JB No, I actually have gone from being computer geeky crazy (I started with the first Mac) to getting back into my hands. That said, I love doing research on the internet.
JB I am not sure how to answer this. Some of the best known artists I know are not the ones I admire most. Ambition is not paired with talent, that is for certain.

Begin Again () é um filme norte americano de 2013, dos gêneros comédia, drama, musical, que foi escrito e dirigido por John Carney. Foi estrelado por Keira Knightley ao lado de Mark Ruffalo e Adam Levine em sua estreia como ator. Knightley interpreta uma cantora e compositora que é descoberta por um executivo de gravadora (Ruffalo), e colabora com ele para produzir um álbum gravado em locais públicos em toda a cidade de Nova York.

Depois do sucesso de seu filme musical de 2007, Once, Carney escreveu o roteiro de Begin Again em 2010 e chamou Gregg Alexander para compor a maioria das músicas do filme. Com um orçamento de US $ 8 milhões, a produção começou em julho de 2012, com as filmagens ocorrendo em vários locais ao redor de New York. O filme estreou em setembro de 2013, no Toronto International Film Festival, e foi lançado nos cinemas em junho de 2014, em conjunto com o lançamento da trilha sonora do filme. O filme arrecadou 47 milhões de dólares na bilheteria internacional e recebeu críticas positivas dos críticos.

Sinopse

Uma cantora inglesa (Keira Knightley) se muda para Nova Iorque com seu namorado americano por causa de uma oportunidade na carreira dele. Ela acaba descobrindo uma traição e decide terminar o relacionamento. Em plena crise, seu amigo a convence a cantar em um bar, onde é descoberta por um produtor de discos famoso que atualmente é um fracassado (Mark Ruffalo), certo de que ela pode se tornar uma estrela.

Enredo
Dan Mulligan (Mark Ruffalo) é um executivo de gravadora que vive em Nova York, afastado de sua esposa Miriam (Catherine Keener) e lutando para manter-se com a indústria da música. Depois de ser demitido de seu emprego, vai beber no East Village, onde ele encontra Gretta James (Keira Knightley), uma jovem e independente compositora, que acaba de separar-se de namorado de longa data e parceiro de composição, Dave Kohl (Adam Levine), um músico de sucesso que teve um caso com uma de suas produtoras. Cativado pela música de Gretta, Dan se oferece para gravar com ela em sua ex-gravadora.

Dan e Gretta reunem-se com Saul (Mos Def), parceiro de negócios de Dan e co-fundador de sua gravadora, mas ele não vê o mesmo potencial em Gretta. Implacável, Dan propõe que ele e Gretta produzam seu próprio álbum em conjunto, a ser gravado ao vivo durante o verão em vários locais públicos ao redor de New York. Recrutam uma equipe de talentosos músicos, incluindo o melhor amigo de Gretta,  Steve (James Corden). Dan se propõe a fazer um álbum digno de ser publicado. Durante este tempo, Dan e Gretta criam um vínculo pessoal  profissional. Gretta ajuda Dan a se aproximar da Filha (Hailee Steinfeld), uma guitarrista principiante. Quando o álbum está terminado, Dan e Gretta encontram-se novamente com Saul. Ele se impressiona com as músicas e Gretta exige que Saul dê a Dan seu emprego de volta. Eles não chegam a um acordo, mas Dan está confiante de que Saul assinará com Gretta.

Quando Gretta vê Dave aceitar um prêmio na televisão, ela o critica por se vender para a indústria da música, e ela expressa seu descontentamento com uma música, que envia a ele pelo Correio Eletrônico. Dave retorna a sua chamada e pede para vê-la. Após algumas considerações, ela decide se encontrar com ele e um critica o álbum do outro. No entanto, Gretta se sente traída, pois uma de suas canções (Lost Stars) fora mudada completamente para agradar ao público. Ela diz que o verdadeiro significado da canção foi perdido. No entanto, Dave convida-a para ouvi-lo tocar a música no Teatro Gramercy naquele fim de semana para que ela possa ver o impacto que teve sobre seus fãs. Ela chega ao local a tempo de vê-lo tocar com seu próprio arranjo, porém, ela percebe o quanto suas prioridades mudaram, e deixa o concerto para percorrer a cidade depois de finalmente entender o que realmente é importante.

Depois, Gretta visita Dan em seu apartamento, enquanto ele se prepara para voltar para casa, depois de ter feito as pazes com sua esposa. Ela lhe diz que não quer assinar com a gravadora e que quer distribuir o álbum online. Relutantemente, Dan concorda e pede ajuda a um de seus amigos, Troublegum (Cee Lo Green), um músico de rap popular, que ajuda a promover a liberação via Twitter. No dia seguinte, Saul despede Dan novamente e lhe informa que o álbum de Gretta vendeu 10.000 cópias em seu primeiro dia de lançamento.

Produção

Desenvolvimento

John Carney já pensava na história vários anos antes de começar a escrever roteiro, em 2010. A história foi inspirada, em parte, por suas próprias experiências como músico em uma banda, e de sua impressão dos artistas e repertório e relações com executivos de gravadoras durante a década de 1990. Carney escreveu o roteiro, que foi inicialmente intitulado como Save Song Your Life?  antes de Glen Hansard e Gregg Alexander começarem a ajudá-lo a escrever as músicas; ele queria "trabalhar a música em torno da história, em vez do contrário." O estilo do roteiro, com canções como um elemento natural da história, foi inspirado no filme de 1954 A Star Is Born (1954) e também é empregado em filme anterior de Carney, Once, lançado em 2007. Judd Apatow foi o produtor, ao lado de Tobin Armbrust e Anthony Bregman. O filme teve um orçamento de 8 milhões de dólares.

Escolha do Elenco

Antes de lançar Keira Knightley como Gretta, Carney considerou lançar uma cantora pop, como Adele, no papel principal, bem como uma série de outras atrizes, incluindo Scarlett Johansson, que estava em um ponto ligado ao projeto. Knightley, que nunca havia cantado profissionalmente antes, preparou-se para o papel, tento aulas com um preparador vocal e um professor de violão. Mark Ruffalo foi a primeira escolha de Carney para o papel de Dan e concordou em estrelar o filme depois que lhe enviaram o primeiro rascunho do roteiro. O cantor Adam Levine também era a única pessoa que Carney imaginava como Dave, e ganhou o papel depois de conversarem pelo Skype; Ele se recusou a ser pago para aparecer no filme. Apesar de ter tipo pequenos papeis na televisão antes, Mesmo se nada der certo marcou o seu primeiro papel em um filme.  Carney conversou com James Corden para aparecer no filme depois de admirá-lo em uma produção da Broadway, One Man, Two Guvnors. Logo após, Hailee Steinfeld foi confirmada para o papel da adolescente problemática, Violet Mulligan.

Filmagens

A fotografia principal do filme começou em Nova York, no dia 02 de julho de 2012, e durou por 23 dias. Carney escolheu filmar em bairros menos conhecidos de Manhattan, que seriam mais reconhecidos por moradores do que turistas. Porém, pode se notar locais mais específicos, como Greenwich Village, o East Village, Times Square e Washington Square Park. Em vez de se apresentar ao vivo durante as filmagens, os atores cantaram músicas pré-gravadas, a fim de economizar dinheiro na contratação de uma equipe de filmagem e figurantes em algumas cenas

Trilha sonora

A trilha sonora foi lançada em 30 de junho de 2014 nos EUA, por pelo selos, ALXNDR de Gregg Alexander,  222 Records de Lavine, Polydor Records e Interscope Records. A maior parte das músicas do filme foi composta por Alexander com Danielle Brisebois, Nick Lashley, Rick Nowels, e Nick Southwood. Algumas músicas foram escritas e compostas por Glen Hansard e Carney, e a maioria foi cantada por Knightley e Levine.

Oscar

A música "Lost Stars" de Gregg Alexander e Danielle Brisebois foi indicada ao Oscar 2015 e perdeu para "Glory" do filme Selma (filme).

Lançamento

Begin Again estreou em 7 de setembro de 2013 no Toronto International Film Festival, onde The Weinstein Company adquiriu os direitos de distribuição nos Estados Unidos para o filme, por 7 milhões de dólares. Mais tarde, foi exibido no dia 26 de abril de 2014, na noite de encerramento do Tribeca Festival de Cinema. O título do filme foi mudado de Can Save Song Your Life? para Begin Again.

Bilheteria

O filme recebeu um lançamento limitado nos Estados Unidos em 27 de junho de 2014, arrecadando cerca de 135 mil dólares em sua semana de estréia, e inaugurado em grande lançamento em 11 de julho. Ele foi re-lançado pela The Weinstein Company em 29 de agosto, mais perto para a temporada de premiações. Em geral, o filme arrecadou cerca de 63 milhões de dólares.

Recepção

Begin Again recebeu críticas positivas dos críticos. No Rotten Tomatoes, o filme mantém uma classificação de 83%, com base em 143 avaliações, com uma classificação média de 6.9 / 10. Consenso do site diz: "O retorno do diretor e roteirista John Carney ao drama musical não é tão potente como foi com Once, mas graças a encantadora obra de seus leads bem combinado, Begin Again é difícil de resistir." No Metacritic, o filme tem uma pontuação de 62 em 100, com base nas avaliações dos críticos, indicando "avaliações favoráveis".

Go Away, Hillary.
Hillary, go away. Go away and stay out of sight.
Millions of Americans are disappointed you lost, me included. I voted for you. You won the popular vote by almost 3 Million votes, but that doesn't matter since that's not how we elect our President (BTW—tell me again why that is?). You lost the electoral vote. How could that have happened? Were you too busy planning your victory fireworks celebration to do the math in the swing states. You blew it and I know you were devastated, but I don't feel the least bit sorry for you. I feel sorry for me and the majority of Americans. You screwed up and now we have to pay the price for the incompetence of how you ran your campaign. I am angry about your weakness, your arrogance and assumption of the ease of your victory. You made a critical error in judgement–you played "not to lose" and assumed the anti-Trump voters would carry you into office.
The real problem is that you didn't work hard enough, didn't crisply define what you stood for, and you didn't connect with voters, even those like me who voted for you. No matter what crap they threw at you (and it was a heaping load of crap), you still should have risen above and won—and won easily. Bernie could have won, O'Malley could have won—hell, I could have won. But you didn't win. Yes, there was a ton of stuff thrown at you, but you are not a victim. Truth is that you didn't inspire me and most Americans, even the ones which pulled your lever. In the end enough Americans were conned into voting for a man who has little business being President, even though YOU were the qualified one, the one with experience, intelligence and pedigree. Didn't matter.
But I was not inspired by you and many of the voters who still voted for you felt the same way. I also remember saying to myself 2 years ago: My god, is she going to be the nominee? Do I have to vote for her? Maybe I should vote for a Republican? (No I didn't do that—not even close). But that in itself was a sign—how is it a lifelong Democrat would even think to not vote for the candidate of the party he strongly supports? Simply, I never connected with your weak messages on any emotional level. That was still enough to get plenty of votes but hardly enough for the large victory that could have been yours.
Every day when I see the lack of compassion, deceit and outright fraud in the new administration, I again am reminded that you are the reason I have a knot in my stomach every day. You came up small when we needed you to come up big.
How is it that a Democrat, ANY Democrat, allowed a Republican candidate to connect with middle class working Americans? Those should have been DEMOCRATIC voters. It's the Democratic party that defends the middle class. Has always been that way. The Republican party is the party of privilege whose ideas and programs are skewed to those of means. The GOP is the party that resents "Entitlements" those 47% of Americans that Romney (who is looking much better to me now) mocked and cost him a shot at the White House.
You misunderstood the angst that many Americans feel. Our society is changing. We've become a service economy, not a manufacturing one. Immigrants/illegal aliens are not taking the jobs of middle Americans, but you allowed the other guy to connect the dots of two unrelated issues. Those still in declining industries are worried (and rightfully so) about their livelihoods. You allowed Donald Trump, who at his core cares little about the common man, to connect as if HE understood them. You called a portion of American voters deplorable, the stupidest phraseology that any candidate could ever use to describe a large portion of voters. Your campaign was deplorable. Trump conned the American public, lied through his teeth, and won. Now we have to put up with his superficial act as a leader, one which has no moral compass with ideas that change with the wind.
As anxious as I get watching the news each day, I get equally perturbed seeing you now. I really don't want to see you, your daughter or your husband, President Clinton anymore (who by the way did you no favor in describing the Affordable Care Act as the craziest thing he ever heard). Please just stay out of sight. I offer "thanks" for the many Democrats who supported you for running the worst campaign of all time. Thanks for having others define you rather than creating a vision of where we are going.
Go away Hillary. PS–your logo stunk too. And what's with "I'm With Her" as a theme?

Extraordinarily hard to believe – but I agree with almost every thing you write in this article. This election is best described as the only election in the history of American politics where each of the two candidates ran against the only candidate they could possibly beat – and Hillary did not!
